Core Tip
Core Tip: Gastric cancer incidence is currently increasing, and treatments such as gastrectomy and D2 Lymphadenectomy are utilised for resectable patients, with chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy being used for advanced/metastatic patients. Krukenberg tumours (ovarian metastases in females with gastric cancer) were once incurable but are now primarily treated with surgery and chemotherapy. Individualised regimens are key to improving outcomes. This review outlines strategies for treating ovarian metastasis from gastric cancer.
